I know some of us don't really care about some of the General Forums and we'd much rather just discuss things with the familiar faces that we all know and love in the Saints forum; so I figured we could try this concept out...

Introducing the Saints Forum "Anything Goes" Thread.

A Saints Fans' "Anything Goes" Thread also might help stir some interesting conversation during football-dry times like we are currently in, when there isn't much football news to talk about - and the only football news that is really being reported at this time of the year is typically about a player committing a crime.

But let's remember that the Global Footballs Future rules still apply in this "Anything Goes" Thread. We can use this specific thread to B.S. around with each other and talk about things that might not have anything to do with the Saints Football Team per say - but we still have to keep it somewhat clean... think P-13.

I saw this same concept work in the Panther's forum and I figured the Saints forum could do the same thing, but only with a little more spice._________________

I'll start with throwing a predicament I'm in out there. Let me know what ya'll think the BrownBag should do...

The Predicament: The Saints' very own BrownBaggin' is getting hitched on July 26th, 2008. Yes, that's exactly two months from today. However, I have a problem... the Saints training camp begins on July 27th at 8:50 am.

My fiancee' and I have already made reservations for a nice resort in Mayan Riviera, Mexico from Sunday July 27th to Friday, August 1st.

So married men especially: What do you think my chances are of getting permission from my newly married wife to fly to Millsaps for 3 days the day after we get back from the honeymoon? What might be some "round-about" tactics that I could introduce the thought to her that might not come across as me leaving her the day we get back?

Remember: Mrs. BrownBaggin' is a lot more fiery than Mr. BrownBaggin'... and in times like these, one must proceed in extreme caution._________________

Congrats BB I'm sure the entire Forum will be there in spirit and you throw your life away, I mean get married. That being said although I'm not married I think the best way to convince her of this is to get her to believe that is her wedding gift to you... but at the same time make sure you do something really nice for her as your wedding gift to her also._________________

Brilliant, Raves. Truly brilliant! Problem is, I think she's already bought me tickets to the Panthers game in Carolina and then I'm also hoping to go to the game at Washington._________________

well get her a 3 day spa and massage treatment at some club for the same days you'll be gone. By the time you get back together you will both be so happy about getting what you wanted that it'll be your honeymoon all over again._________________

Raves - you sure are a bona fide ladies' man. You haven't tied the knot yet?_________________

Military life makes it difficult. June 2004- June 2005 in Korea, June 2005 to October 2006 in San Antonio, October 2006 to December 2007 Iraq, December 2007 to March 2008 San Antonio, March 2008 to July/August 2008 Fort Knox, July/August 2008 to whenever Iraq.

As you can see not much time to make any real bonds. But I do have a lot of female friends if you know what I mean. But that really is what it comes down to is that I don't have the time to make a committed relationship and therefore don't even bother.

You're going to miss next season man! That's just wrong. I'll call Washington and let them know that international wars don't need to happen during Football season - let's save the guns for Hockey season.

Wow, that sucks man. I'll dedicate my posts to you while your gone._________________

New topic if anyone wishes to join in on. Edited by NSF. And can we say this in here or does it have to do with politics so we cant?

I personally love politics, but I'm not sure it is allowed on FF. Religion and Politics are kind of touchy subjects and many people on this website don't know how to have an insightful and mature conversation; especially with people who might have different perspectives.

So I don't think Religion or Politics are permitted on the website... besides, it would really be a shame if we had to lock this thread & this idea because somebody loses their cool.

But I will say that I'm very excited about this upcoming election and I think this is a critical time in our wonderful country's history._________________
